17:30 Maccabi Petach-Tikva – Ironi Kiryat Shmona

Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C. is on 7th position in the standings (5-5-6 17-27), but the truth is, that the Blue-Whites are not doing so well recently, even at this stadium where they won only two points from the last four games (0-2-2 2-4).

Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona F.C., on the other hand, is one of the two teams with the biggest potential in this league (together with Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C.), so it’s not a surprise that this team sits atop of the standings in the Israeli Premier League, with eleven victories, five draws and not a single defeat in the previous sixteen rounds (11-5-0 30-10).

Another reason for my bet can be found in the fact, that the hosts will be without three important players for this match – Dedi Ben Dayan (defender / 2 goals), Joachim Mununga (midfielder / 3 goals) and Kostadin Hazurov (striker / 1 goal).
